PLEASE READ THIS FIRST: Psalm 33

What do you sense the Lord saying to you in this passage?

“He gathers the waters of the sea into jars; he puts the deep into storehouses.” (Psalm 33:7)
The word ‘awesome’ is so misused, it has been emptied of its meaning.
It was the perfect word to express how extremely impressive and daunting God is.
David attempts to express how GREAT (this word seems so weak) God is.
Whatever is great to us (like the sea) is miniscule to God… God stores the sea in jars!
This may seem ridiculous, but how else do you describe the indescribable?
Have we as Jesus followers lost our sense of the true awesomeness of God.
Whatever may impress us in this world is nothing in comparison to God!!!
Expanding our thoughts about God (ie ‘magnifying God’) is helpful for the soul.
It is both a reminder of how small we are and of how great the God-that-is-for-us is!
“They were terrified, ‘Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!’” (Mark 4:41)
Jesus emptied himself of his God-greatness to become like us (Philippians 2:6-8).
But God backed him with Spirit-power, doing great and awesome things through him.
We can do great things for God when we humble ourselves before God’s greatness.
When we’re more impressed with our greatness, we miss out on God’s true greatness!
PRAYER
Lord, you have shown us the greatness of God in human flesh. This is what we were made for, but pride keeps us from enjoying it. Teach me the true meaning of AWESOME!
